After confirming it was correct, he hastily left the \"Scripture Pavilion.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being watched by many fellow sect members made Li Yunjing feel somewhat uncomfortable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, he would typically borrow a room on the first floor and copy all the knowledge he had in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, to avoid the excessive enthusiasm of his fellow sect members, Li Yunjing directly took the Teleportation Array of \"Brocade Peak\" back to \"Seven Stars Peak.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s still best to be home!

You’ve recently advanced to Inner Sect Disciple, do you have anywhere to go?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this thought, Li Yunjing immediately messaged Yue Zhouwang.
